Actually, there was a quality to a popular character card. The quality depended on how long it lasted. The longer a popular character lasted, the longer the readers would remember it. Some popular characters were only one step away from becoming an icon. Whether or not they could become an icon was something that could be decided by the creator.
Take "Yu Shengfan," for example. Zhao Youyue did not intend to make her into an iconic character. Who would have thought that her early exit would trigger Rosemary's outburst? He could not bear to destroy the feeling of Yu Shengfan's character. At the same time, Rosemary also had a strong desire to create an iconic character. Hence, he wrote Yu Shengfan to death, making her an iconic character.
Zhao Youyue could clearly remember that the popular character card "Yu Shengfan" had lasted for ten years. The length of this duration was a testament to the character's popularity …
Hua Xiaomao's popularity in "Dog Days" clearly couldn't compare to Yu Shengfan's. She only lasted for six months, which clearly showed the gap between her and Yu Shengfan. She couldn't even compare to "Zhou Chun" in "The 4WD God" because "The 4WD God" had a solid foundation, while "Dog Days" was the work of a newcomer.
Zhao Youyue used her influence on the Qidian novel website to promote "Dog Days," and even rewarded it with a Silver Sect Master when it was published. Her efforts in the real world were more useful than anything she had done in the literary world.
She had no choice. She did not put much effort into designing the character of "Hua Xiaomao," as it did not have much significance. "Dog Days" was not a top-notch masterpiece. The creator, Sun Xian, was only a creator with a small amount of potential. There was still a huge gap between him and a genius creator. Sun Xian himself was also a casual writer. Hence, Zhao Youyue's character design should follow his style, or else it would look out of place.
Zhao Youyue was able to obtain such a popular character card, not because of the character card's own ability, but because she could sacrifice this character card to create an iconic female character. She could also use the identity of "Altair" to travel to those real parallel worlds …
This was the true method of using this highly popular character card. Otherwise, it would be difficult to use such a highly popular character card to act cute.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Zhao Youyue left, the author, Sun Xian, was dumbfounded. When he saw the Silver Sect Master reward from Lady Zhao, he was overwhelmed with excitement. He promised that he would release more rewards to his readers once he was published. He hoped that everyone would support him!
At the time, Sun Xian had thought that as long as he was writing about Hua Xiaomao, his writing would be smooth. It was as if he had turned on an automatic writing switch. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about updating his novel at all …
Therefore, he confidently boasted. However, when he tried to activate the automatic update mode by writing "Hua Xiaomao" again, he couldn't find that feeling anymore!
He even felt that he could no longer write a scene that would make the readers think that it was cute. This made him feel very helpless.
He did not have the same ambition as Rosemary, who wanted to make "Hua Xiaomao" into an iconic character. In fact, his creative attitude had never been good. When he discovered that "intoxicated" feeling, he did not intend to use it to make his work better. Instead, he used it to make up for his lack of updates …
In a sense, everything he had was given to him by Zhao Youyue, who had transmigrated into the literary world. Therefore, Zhao Youyue's high popularity character card was an equivalent exchange. If not for Zhao Youyue, his "Dog Days" would not have been able to become popular. His updates were simply too much.
He was not a famous author, nor was he a genius. Yet, he was acting like a big shot. How could he become popular?
Of course, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with this. He had never seen himself as a professional author. Even an amateur author would not want their work to be more popular.
Therefore, some people might think that Zhao Youyue's early exit was unkind. She had pushed Sun Xian into a pit. It was a heartless act. In fact, she had not figured out the cause and effect at all. Without Zhao Youyue, how could he become popular? At most, he would just be a little famous in his small circle …
In this era of entertainment, even good wine was afraid of the deep alley. How could such a good thing happen if one wanted to be famous without any PR? Unless one was a super genius, how could such a good thing happen?
Unsurprisingly, when Sun Xian realized that he could no longer write, he returned to his normal self. He was not like Rosemary at all. He was disappointed that he could no longer write like that. It was as if the Goddess of Literature no longer cared for him.
The unambitious, ordinary uncle Sun Xian calmly accepted all of this. He continued to update as he pleased, maintaining his leisurely style. The main character, who was the supporting character of a dog and a female CEO, was finally online again. A portion of the readers had lost interest, because they wanted to see "Fluffy." Although Sun Xian wrote about "Fluffy," people thought that this character had lost its spirituality. It was no longer the same when it came to acting cute.
This character's popularity was undoubtedly on the decline. It would not be long before he was forgotten by the readers …
Sun Xian felt sorry for Lady Zhao, his number one fan. After all, he had promised to explode for Zhao Youyue, but he had broken his promise. However, Zhao Youyue had magnanimously said that it was fine as long as he did not become a eunuch.
Sun Xian felt that Lady Zhao was too understanding. He did not expect such a perfect reader to exist in this world. Why were other readers so fierce? It was as if he updated as he liked, and his entire family should be sent to the crematorium. Why did web novels have to be updated daily? He had never dreamed of becoming a High God.
Hard work might not lead to success, but it would be easy if you did not work hard. He felt that this was a great saying!
Zhao Youyue had forgiven him because she had already achieved her goal. At the same time, she did not lack a web novel to read. There were many excellent web writers who worked hard to update their novels. She could read other works that were fast and well-written.
As for the tips, she could just treat it as feeding the dog. At the same time, it was also a tip for the high popularity character card.
Now, she wanted to see what would happen if she used the "Hua Xiaomao" card in real life.
